The mission of the game is to find the children in the city and look for information to understand what is going on in their lives. The child will then have to try to help the youth of Futuraville by finding solutions to respond to the situation of violence they are experiencing and, thus, help them regain confidence and feel better.  <\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Futuraville is a great game to address the subject of violence with your child. Plus it&#8217;s free and available on PC, iOS and Android. It is a good social and educational tool that takes about 30 minutes to play.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FUTURAVILLE: Ensemble contre la violence!\" width=\"735\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1OJxRFllVc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information about the game: <a href=\"https:\/\/espacesansviolence.org\/jeunesse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Official game page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Futuraville is an educational game for children that is a tool to prevent violence for young people aged 9 to 12.
